Kitchen Mood Board
Let's talk kitchen! I shared our dining room mood board last week and now I'm so excited to share our vision for our kitchen here.
Dining Room Moodboard
And after many months on Pinterest, drooling and saving images on Instagram, I have a mood board that is going to be my guide as we design, pick out flooring, paint, and furniture for our new home.
Our House Journey - Part 5/5
Looking back on the past 15 months, I can’t say I would have chosen this for myself. I lost my dream job March 2020. Aimless and lost, I threw myself into content creation. It wasn't nearly enough to pay the bills. There were months on end where I earned nothing.
Our House Journey - Part 4/5
After the loss of my mother in law, we wanted a fresh start and that’s when thekwendyhome 2.0 as you know it made its debut on Instagram. I started updating my family and friends on my private account, storying in excess of 100 slides a day.
Our House Journey - Part 3/5
We were just two kids in love, house broke but full of dreams.

Our House Journey - Part 2/5
What was initially a perceived blow to us became a huge blessing.
After our landlord informed us that they were moving, we didn’t know where to go. We had planned to rent out their basement apartment for the next 3-5 years and save for a down payment. Their decision accelerated our own plans to start house hunting for our very first home.

It’s demo day (somewhere mid July) at thekwendyhome 3.0! I’m excited, nervous and incredibly grateful to share this journey with you.
House Hunting Update
I thought the next time I blogged about this house hunting journey I would have good news for you. But I don't. And at first I wasn't going to blog about it because who wants to read a story without an ending.

My First Year as a Full Time Influencer, 2020 in Review

Ok, this is not clickbait. But to set the record straight, this is not a blog post on drama between influencers because I am not about the drama llama. And honestly, I have fantastic relationships with my friends on Instagram! They're all super supportive over there.
